Hello,
my LG G6 phone in the last months is getting very slow, especially when the battery is very low, under 20%.
I want to factory reset it, I have no custom rom, just stock firmare.
I tried to flash H87020h_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0110.kdz with the REFURBISH option but it does not allow me.
Is there any gain to reflash it or should I just do a hard reset?
You do not need to reflash anything. Just go into the settings and choose factory reset.

Im mulling over doing a factory reset to see if that will cure my GPS issues before I send the phone back for replacement.

There's the old power up, volume down, home key, select between fastbook, recovery, clear storage and simlock.
Then there's the code, *2767*3855# whih some say as well as obliterating everything, also reinstalls the firmware.
What I don't want to do, is brick the device, and I don't want to kill the firmware on there - because I just don't have any official firmware from Samsung, and I don't care about the stuff from samsung-firmwares, that's not "officially released" afaics.
So, what's the difference between fastbook, recovery, clear storage and simlock? does *2767*3855# really reflash the firmware?
Which option would you recommend?
Cheers

I used the code the other day... Everything reset. Haven't a clue if that means it firmware was reinstalled, and it felt a bit fast for that (though the boot time was in the minutes).
I didn't have any issues with the reset... and also reset to see if some of my problems including the GPS issue went away.
No avail on any of my problems... GPS is still being a pain and battery life is still lower than expected.
Having said that, looks like new firmwares are starting to pop up... so these issues could be resolved quite soon!

That code will wipe the whole phone included built in storage to factory.
I used it once to wipe my phone, had no problem but make sure you back up any data as it does full wipe.
i have a friend who did the OTA gingebread update, he didn't know any better....
I'm pretty good with rooting and I know there's no update or way to do it yet for that (GB), but if he did a factory reset does that revert back to the old OS? Or does it keep the current OS?
Thought we'd check before hand and this is the only place I could think of to come and ask.
Doing a factory reset only deletes ALL data on the phone; it keeps the current firmware, ie, he'll still be on gingerbread.
I got an evo that i had flashed to boost and my son factory reset and i need to fix the evdo settings but idk what the working evdo settings for boost are for my evo does anyone have them ?
I don't understand why a factory reset would do this because those settings are in the phone itself, a factory reset wipes your ROM back to it's original state, wipes cache and all that good stuff if I'm correct.
Either way I've reset mine and never had to reenter any settings. But if you do then you would just need to get them off your donor phone and reenter them as you did when you originally cloned the phone.
My phone is getting old, and because of that some problems are emerging with age.
It turns out that whenever my phone starts to behave in an unsatisfactory way, I do a factory reset.
My question is, what is best, do a factory reset or reflash the rom? Or there isn't any difference? I'm on stock 4.4.4, without root or custom recovery (I like Android this way ) and never unlocked the device.
Would a fresh install solve occasional problems caused by the OTAs?
Sorry for the bad english.
If you haven't gotten your answer already, the best method to reset your phone to fix various issues is to factory reset your phone. This returns it to the complete default state of software, where all apps should be working. Flash a rom simply replaces the system partition with the system partition of the rom, and thus is not as complete as a factory reset.
Basically, if you're having issues with a stock rom, just factory reset it and it will get rid of most, if not all, issues.
I factory reset it and it stay pops up constantly!
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?!? Im willing to try anything. Ive tried all the ones on youtube with the "solution" but it does not work.
I am also running stock too
I also have this problem. Phone is stock, no mods
Is there a way to restore the phone without the built in factory reset?
I think the recovery files built into the phone may be corrupt...
Tried a factory reset and it didn't work

Hey there! I fixed this problem by actually rooting my phone! It went away right when I rooted it. It seems that it cleared the cache.
